I got a free magazine subscription filling the survey in this site.
As someone else mentioned before, they also sent me the leftover numbers
from a couple of months ago (they were all beat up too). Not a good
beginning.Apart from that, I must be reading a different magazine than the people
who are raving about it here. In my opinion, the articles are shallow,
fairly uninformative, and written in a this-is-way-k00l-and-xtreme-dude
tone that I don't care for.I don't like the magazine layout, the way you can't tell where an article
ends and another starts, how they put the ends of the articles at the end of
the magazine, etc, etc.Put it this way, I've almost called them up to cancel my FREE subscription.
I just read the couple interesting pages, and then donate them to my
local library. At least someone enjoys it there because it's usually gone
within a few days :)

Since I've been getting this mag for free, I have to say that I really dig it. It's not my favorite, but it's by far not the worst one. It's probably even worth $9.97/year. They get pretty lame on some filler articles, but the fitness and product stuff are worth reading. Of course, I couldn't have cared much less about the review of DH forks over $1000; why doesn't someone review something useful like a chainring shootout, or a brake-pad shootout for V pads, or a Sachs vs. Shimano Chain comparo, or updated tire tests? Did I mention that the price is right?

Please direct this note to your subscription department. You are currently sending me two (2) magazines each month. While I greatly enjoy Mountain Biker, I only want and need one issue per month. I have paid for both of these subscriptions. Please end one and only one subscription and add it to the other subscription. If you have any questions please call or E-mail. Thank you.David C. Ditler

Hey. Great Mag guys! First of all i hate this downhill crape u keep putting in ur mag. i love the fitness section but u should also include some techincal skills for mountian biking more often. it would also be nice if u had some races listed for all regions of the US.

In addition to the free subscription, I really dig this mag for it's informative articles on nutrition and training. With some of the other mag's, I'll finish reading articles and think hmmmm, what's the point? Mountain Biker gives me great take-away info, and they even humored me with the cardboard cut-away Mountain Dew racer article.

I think that this magazine is the bomb besides they don't give you info on how to get the mountain biker sticker. They also need to start to put more tips and stratagies on how to get threw some types of terrain. I also think they need to do more issues with the photo gallery's.

After receiving the March'98 issue, I became so pissed I started looking for their website to vent. I've subscribed to this mag for at least 3 yrs and until freakrides came along, I thought it was top shelf. Since they have no website, maybe they'll see this. How about some good , basic coverage of the type of riding that most of us do? I'm sure I'll be heli-biking Canada reeeal soon. And after that, I'll go snowboarding or trout fishing. If I need to know about fishing, I'll buy a fishing mag. Wait, it gets better. An article on adventure bikes? Three Cannondales? I thought maybe there were someother brands out there. Oh, I forgot, Cannondale has a bike named Freakride so it must be the bomb. I know, how about a feature on long travel dual crown forks that are $500 a copy, 2+ lbs. too heavy, and have zero turning radius. Or if you can't handle that, how about a suspension stem, flexible handlebars, or an overweight/overengineered seatpost? Man, thank goodness for the Tomac interview. Why didn't you ask him how his career would have turned out if all he did was go down hill on a freakride? Gotta go. Just popped a major blood vessel. p.s. I didn't bother to label myself. I just like to ride my rig and have some fun between between races.
